Is there something wrong with accessing information that someone has posted for public access?

The Wikipedia example is glaring. They’re scraping content, stripping attribution and reselling it with a right to lock it down in a way that is not allowed by the original license.

Brave is laundering copyleft content while lying to their customers by selling a license they can’t give. If you’d like, you can sidestep the morality of copyright entirely and focus on the plagiarism and fraud.

Yes. Legalities aside, stripping attribution (author names) from contents which specifically requires keeping it, it a really shitty thing to do.

(The fact that they include original URL does not change much, given that they explicitly market it as "Data for AI" and those systems never have attribution)
